Story

I'm going to do a thing. A tall, terrifying thing. An 'abseiling down the 100 metre high Spinnaker Tower' kinda thing 😱

Why? Well, I haven't done challenge for a while now and this is well and truly out of my comfort zone - its good to visit that place sometimes, so I'm told! I have vertigo, intermittently shonky legs and no head for heights...
This is all to raise funds for Lambourn RDA.


6 years ago, following my MS diagnosis and finding myself struggling to get to grips with all the crap that brings with it, they got me back in the saddle and, as a result, played a huge part in getting my life back on track. I was broken - mentally and physically, jobless, hopeless. MS was doing a cracking job at swinging a wrecking ball through my life.

Fast forward 6 years - I have a career, I've achieved stuff I never thought possible, I have met some incredible people and made a lot of new, very special friends. I now even have my own beautiful horse (something I have only ever dreamed of!). RDA gave me back my 'fight' and re-kindled my passion for horses. Thank you ❤️

To support Lambourn RDA so that they can carry on changing lives, I'll be throwing myself off the 100 metre tall Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth on Sunday 25th June 2023, (with a rope attached!). If you can give a couple of quid, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you x
